Geeknet is adding additional memory to the server that handles Ohloh’s console-based file upload service. This will result in about 15 minutes of downtime to the service starting tomorrow at 10am Pacific time or 18:00 UTC. Uploading via the web interface during this time will continue to work and project downloads will not be affected […]

Ohloh is migrating to a new datacenter over the next few weeks. During the migration, we expect some impact on the website: Project updates might be delayed. We might be slow when responding to support requests, e.g. questions about why a project report is delayed or different than what’s expected. The website will be read-only […]

We’ve just added some new project widgets, whose purpose is to make it easy for your users to stack your project. Clicking “I Use This” will take them to Ohloh and right into the stacking UI.

You probably have friends who also contributed to open source but haven’t claimed their contribution yet. If so, please invite them to join Ohloh. To make […]

Ohloh generates reports by crawling a project’s source code repository. The vast majority of open source projects make this publicly available. However there are some cases where they either don’t make it available or where they happen to use software that Ohloh doesn’t support yet. It’s now possible to indicate these distinctions for projects that […]

As part of our effort to create more embeddable content, we’ve created widgets for accounts. Here’s a sample: The example is one of my widgets (no jokes about my lame stats please). We also have 2 other widgets, which are smaller. You can check out all the available badges by going to the account widgets […]
